Abstract: Finding the Standard Model scalar (Higgs) boson is arguably the single most important mission of the LHC. I review predictions for the Higgs boson mass based on stability and perturbativity arguments, taking into account neutrino oscillations. Other topics that are briefly discussed include the CMSSM, extra dimensions, higher dimensional orbifold GUTS, and primordial inflation based on the Coleman-Weinberg potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
